Scott Tolzien benched for Jacoby Brissett after Rams get 2 pick-sixes

LOS ANGELES -- The Indianapolis Colts benched starting quarterback Scott Tolzien in favor of Jacoby Brissett in the fourth quarter of their 46-9 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

Tolzien, who has been starting in Andrew Luck's absence since April, threw two interceptions that were returned for touchdowns, including one of the Colts' first offensive series, and he was nearly intercepted a third time if not for Donte Moncrief getting called for a facemask while breaking up the pass near the Colts sideline.

Tolzien, who entered the game 0-2-1 as a starter in his career, finished 9-of-18 for 128 yards with two interceptions and being sacked four times.
